MOVIE OVERVIEW

• "THAPPAD," A 2020 BOLLYWOOD DRAMA DIRECTED BY


ANUBHAV SINHA, EXPLORES THE THEMES OF
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, SELF-DISCOVERY, AND WOMEN
EMPOWERMENT. THE STORY CENTERS ON AMRITA
(PLAYED BY TAAPSEE PANNU), A DEVOTED HOUSEWIFE
WHOSE LIFE IS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN WHEN HER
HUSBAND, VIKRAM, SLAPS HER AT A PARTY. THIS
SINGULAR ACT OF VIOLENCE BECOMES A CATALYST
FOR AMRITA'S JOURNEY OF SELF-REALIZATION AND
QUESTIONING OF SOCIETAL NORMS.
SOCIETAL ISSUES
• DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: THE SLAP, THOUGH SEEMINGLY TRIVIAL TO SOME CHARACTERS,
SYMBOLIZES THE DEEP-SEATED ISSUE OF DOMESTIC ABUSE THAT MANY WOMEN
ENDURE SILENTLY. THE FILM ADDRESSES THE NORMALIZATION OF DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE IN MARRIAGES AND HOW IT IS OFTEN DISMISSED AS A MINOR ISSUE.
• SELF-DISCOVERY: AMRITA'S JOURNEY AFTER THE SLAP IS ONE OF SELF-DISCOVERY.
SHE REEVALUATES HER IDENTITY, DESIRES, AND THE SACRIFICES SHE HAS MADE FOR
HER FAMILY. HER DECISION TO LEAVE VIKRAM AND SEEK A DIVORCE IS A SIGNIFICANT
STEP TOWARDS RECLAIMING HER SELF-RESPECT AND AUTONOMY.
• WOMEN EMPOWERMENT: THE MOVIE HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPORTANCE OF WOMEN
STANDING UP AGAINST INJUSTICE, NO MATTER HOW INGRAINED IT IS IN SOCIETAL
NORMS. AMRITA'S ACTIONS INSPIRE OTHER FEMALE CHARACTERS IN THE FILM TO
REFLECT ON THEIR OWN SITUATIONS AND ASSERT THEIR RIGHTS.
DIALOGUES

• "JUST A SLAP, BUT CAN'T HIT" (BAS ITNI SI BAAT, PAR MAAR NAHI SAKTA): THIS
DIALOGUE REFLECTS THE CORE ARGUMENT OF THE FILM—THAT NO ACT OF
VIOLENCE, HOWEVER SMALL, SHOULD BE TOLERATED IN A RELATIONSHIP.

• "MAIN BAS ITNA KEH RAHI HOON KI UNHE ZINDAGI BHAR KA DARD DIYA HAI"
(I'M JUST SAYING THAT HE HAS GIVEN HER A LIFETIME OF PAIN): THIS LINE
EMPHASIZES THE LASTING IMPACT OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ON A PERSON'S LIFE.
• EQUALITY AND RESPECT: FEMINISM
ADVOCATES FOR EQUAL RIGHTS AND
RESPECT FOR WOMEN. AMRITA'S REFUSAL
TO ACCEPT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE,
REGARDLESS OF ITS PERCEIVED TRIVIALITY,
UNDERSCORES THE NEED FOR MUTUAL
RESPECT IN RELATIONSHIPS.
• RIGHTS OF WOMEN: ISLAM ACKNOWLEDGES
AND PROTECTS THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN. THE
QURAN EXPLICITLY STATES THAT WOMEN
HAVE RIGHTS SIMILAR TO THOSE OF MEN
(QURAN 2:228). THIS IMPLIES A BALANCED,
RESPECTFUL, AND EQUITABLE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SPOUSES.
DEFINE DOMESTIC VIOLANCE

• DOMESTIC VIOLENCE" OR "INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE", CAN BE DEFINED AS


A PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR IN ANY RELATIONSHIP THAT IS USED TO GAIN OR
MAINTAIN POWER AND CONTROL OVER AN INTIMATE PARTNER. ABUSE IS
PHYSICAL, SEXUAL, EMOTIONAL, ECONOMIC OR PSYCHOLOGICAL ACTIONS OR
THREATS OF ACTIONS THAT INFLUENCE ANOTHER PERSON.
• PAKISTANI SOCIETY:IN PAKISTAN, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE,
AND CULTURAL NORMS OFTEN DISCOURAGE WOMEN FROM SPEAKING OUT.
"THAPPAD" REFLECTS THE STRUGGLES FACED BY MANY PAKISTANI WOMEN
WHO ENDURE SIMILAR SITUATIONS. THE FILM ADVOCATES FOR WOMEN'S
RIGHTS AND EMPOWERMENT, ENCOURAGING WOMEN TO STAND AGAINST ANY
FORM OF INJUSTICE.
